This free, spook-tacular festival will include assorted games and prizes, trick-or-treating at participating downtown businesses, face painting, balloons and a costume contest for children ages 0-11 at 3 p.m.

Children will compete for prizes for the scariest, cutest and most creative costumes for ages 0-2; 3-5; 6-8; and 9-11. For families just looking for some Halloween fun, the park will be decorated to provide the ideal backdrop for Halloween photos.

Additionally, Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Sea Star Base Galveston will have booths with information on raising wildlife awareness.

Mitchell Historic Properties originally created the Saengerfest Mini Monster Bash in 2011, to provide a safe Halloween festival for the Galveston community that was fun for kids of all ages. The festival has lived up to the initial goal and has continued to grow in popularity and participation each year.

The Saengerfest Mini Monster Bash is presented by Mitchell Historic Properties. For information on the Mini Monster Bash or how to participate, call (409) 761-4111 or email mlara@mitchellfamilycorp.com.
